That's enough to personally buy out every politician in certain places for decades.

Many shy back from thinking too hard about the riduculous wealth some accumulate, because then they would have to come to the realization that the reality they live in is fundementally fucked up. Living is just easier with a bit of intentional ignorance and apathy.

I disagree - the current levels of income disparity, then Meta and Zuckerberg’s general conduct along with the general sentiment make it extremely hard to say “attaboy” when reading a news like this. I might be saying this for most readers here.

They must have done really well with their AI projects.

I don’t think that’s a fair expectation given the tremendous success they had with their Metaverse attempts, to the point they changed the company name for it.

There's a Board involved with deciding these things who has made the active decision that keeping those particular people in that place is worth it. Maybe the next "hot skill" is "corporate governance auditing" to start profiling the people that keep throwing passively invested funds at such small groups of people in such large amounts. Someone's making the decisions. Food for thought. Mayhaps it's time the rest of the folks in the States made a much bigger point of being on top of who is guiding their capital.
